NITEVIKE123 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 My son is wanting a AIO CPU cooler for a Ryzen 5 5000 series with RGB lighting. He would really like a Corsair. I am wondering which model(s) is compatible. This is a Christmas gift and I want to make sure that I purchase the correct one. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

LeDoyen Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 they will be all compatible with the CPU. The milion dollar question is.. what computer case does he use 🙂 This is what will dictate what size radiator will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NITEVIKE123 Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 He said that it’s a mid case….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeDoyen Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 awesomesauce... that doesn't help at all lol maybe if you can sneak a photo of his case 😛 The usual sizes for radiators would be 280mm (two 140mm fans), 240mm (2x120), and 360mm (3x120). Usually the front fans will tell the tale. if it has 3 front fans, most likely it will be compatible with a 360mm AIO mounted on the front The top position (fans on top of the case) is more hit and miss, since some mid size cases will not allow for top AIO mounting, as it would collide with the RAM or with the motherboard.

NITEVIKE123 Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Shoot - He has two fans on the front. Here are a few pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NITEVIKE123 Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 There’s a mount on the top with a screen for additional fans too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeDoyen Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 It's a Lian-Li Lancool 205 mesh. It can support 240mm radiators up top or at the front, so any 240mm AIO will work in his case. here's the case manual just for info https://lian-li.com/downloads/LANCOOL_205M_ATX_User_Manual.pdf the latest from corsair would be either the H100i Elite Capellix https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Liquid-Cooling/iCUE-ELITE-CAPELLIX-Liquid-CPU-Cooler/p/CW-9060046-WW Or the newer version of it with an LCD screen and the latest fan model https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Liquid-Cooling/iCUE-ELITE-LCD-Display-Liquid-CPU-Cooler/p/CW-9060061-WW For performance, both will be more than adequate, you should really go for the one you think he'll like more, or what's in budget 😛 Ideally he'll want to install it on the front, so that the radiator gets fresh outside air, and he can reuse the front fans for the top position to evacuate the heat.
